Title
tcp: Don't call reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request().
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: Don't call reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request(). syzbot reported the splat below in tcp_conn_request(). [0] If a listener is close()d while a TFO socket is being processed in tcp_conn_request(), inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add() does not set reqsk->sk and calls inet_child_forget(), which calls tcp_disconnect() for the TFO socket. After the cited commit, tcp_disconnect() calls reqsk_fastopen_remove(), where reqsk_put() is called due to !reqsk->sk. Then, reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request() decrements the last req->rsk_refcnt and frees reqsk, and __reqsk_free() at the drop_and_free label causes the refcount underflow for the listener and double-free of the reqsk. Let's remove reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request(). Note that other callers make sure tp->fastopen_rsk is not NULL. [0]: refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

[0]\n\nIf a listener is close()d while a TFO socket is being processed in\ntcp_conn_request(), inet_csk_reqsk_queue_add() does not set reqsk-\u003esk\nand calls inet_child_forget(), which calls tcp_disconnect() for the\nTFO socket.\n\nAfter the cited commit, tcp_disconnect() calls reqsk_fastopen_remove(),\nwhere reqsk_put() is called due to !reqsk-\u003esk.\n\nThen, reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request() decrements the\nlast req-\u003ersk_refcnt and frees reqsk, and __reqsk_free() at the\ndrop_and_free label causes the refcount underflow for the listener\nand double-free of the reqsk.\n\nLet\u0027s remove reqsk_fastopen_remove() in tcp_conn_request().\n\nNote that other callers make sure tp-\u003efastopen_rsk is not NULL.\n\n[0]:\nrefcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.\nWARNING: CPU: 12 PID: 5563 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate (lib/refcount.c:28)\nModules linked in:\nCPU: 12 UID: 0 PID: 5563 Comm: syz-executor Not tainted syzkaller #0 PREEMPT(full)\nHardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 07/12/2025\nRIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate (lib/refcount.c:28)\nCode: ab e8 8e b4 98 ff 0f 0b c3 cc cc cc cc cc 80 3d a4 e4 d6 01 00 75 9c c6 05 9b e4 d6 01 01 48 c7 c7 e8 df fb ab e8 6a b4 98 ff \u003c0f\u003e 0b e9 03 5b 76 00 cc 80 3d 7d e4 d6 01 00 0f 85 74 ff ff ff c6\nRSP: 0018:ffffa79fc0304a98 EFLAGS: 00010246\nRAX: d83af4db1c6b3900 RBX: ffff9f65c7a69020 RCX: d83af4db1c6b3900\nRDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00000000ffff7fff RDI: ffffffffac78a280\nRBP: 000000009d781b60 R08: 0000000000007fff R09: ffffffffac6ca280\nR10: 0000000000017ffd R11: 0000000000000004 R12: ffff9f65c7b4f100\nR13: ffff9f65c7d23c00 R14: ffff9f65c7d26000 R15: ffff9f65c7a64ef8\nFS:  00007f9f962176c0(0000) GS:ffff9f65fcf00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\nCS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: 0000200000000180 CR3: 000000000dbbe006 CR4: 0000000000372ef0\nCall Trace:\n \u003cIRQ\u003e\n tcp_conn_request (./include/linux/refcount.h:400 ./include/linux/refcount.h:432 ./include/linux/refcount.h:450 ./include/net/sock.h:1965 ./include/net/request_sock.h:131 net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:7301)\n tcp_rcv_state_process (net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:6708)\n tcp_v6_do_rcv (net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c:1670)\n tcp_v6_rcv (net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c:1906)\n ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:438)\n ip6_input (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:500)\n ipv6_rcv (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:311)\n __netif_receive_skb (net/core/dev.c:6104)\n process_backlog (net/core/dev.c:6456)\n __napi_poll (net/core/dev.c:7506)\n net_rx_action (net/core/dev.c:7569 net/core/dev.c:7696)\n handle_softirqs (kernel/softirq.c:579)\n do_softirq (kernel/softirq.c:480)\n \u003c/IRQ\u003e"
